THE NEW YORKER HELP THE YOUNGER. ELEMENT T ADIES and gentlemen, I don't L often get up and talk before meetings of the Committee of the Whole like this. Ha, ha, ha. I have my hands full as chairman of the Greens Committee and Mr. Bob Sum- ner and Mr. Ted Heiliger there will bear me out when I say we have some pret-ty stor-my sessions at our meetings. But this evening I want to say a few words anent a project that the younger members of Idlewood Country Club are getting up. The report reaches me that the young people, the members of the !)ance Committee, are thinking of spending over six hundred fifty dollars just for an orchestra for the July three dance, the .eve of July four. I won't say how I heard it, but I just want to mention that when you're chairman of a Greens Committee there's migh-ty little goes on about the club that you don't hear sooner or later. And ladies and gentlemen, I want to say here and now that any such expenditure would be entirely out of proportion, entirely out of proportion. Six hundred fifty dol- lars for a jazz orchestra may be all right for W ykagyl or Siwanoy or one of those big places like Lido. They can afford it, but six hundred fifty dollars for the orchestra for one of our dances is entirely out of proportion. N ow don't misconstrue me. I don't want anyone to think I'm a killjoy, because I never miss a dance. vV e had very nice dances from every standpoint every Saturday all winter long, and I enjoyed them to the hilt. I discussed this with one or two members and they pointed out that the girls and the younger marrieds had raised this money themselves, holding benefit bridges and Thursday-morning golf tournaments because they wanted to get this Bobby What's-His-Name's orchestra from some New York night club. I have a strong sense of fair play-you need it when you're chair- man of the Greens Committee-and in almost any other matter I'd be with the young people to the hil-to the death. I feel sure they know they can always count on me for support in any of their projects, but my dear ladies and gentlemen, an expenditure of six hundred fifty dollars for a jazz or- chestra would be entirely out of pro- portion. Let me go back to the dances we had all winter long. I happen to know 81 " 'Ø PEEK FREAN BISCUITS ,ø$. ' ,t ;."r .'
